The Fraternal Order
of the Cyber Amish is a religious organization dedicated to the idea of
"Simpler Living through Technology." We believe that one
can transcend today's world through the use of cyberspace and the Internet.
We also believe in the healing and redemptive properties of eating pie.

How
were the Cyber Amish founded?

The Order was founded
in January 1998 by Paul
Brown and others at a Coco's Restaurant in Tucson, Arizona.
The founders were attending a bear event known as La
Fiesta de Los Osos, sponsored by the Bears
of the Old Pueblo. While waiting in the lobby, the Doubting
Lady™ appeared to Paul in a vision and asked him to form the Order.
So Paul and his troop of Pie-ists went into the dining room and had the
first Pie Ceremony, a meal which has been duplicated
annually ever since.

The ceremony has been
performed each year since at the same location. It has grown considerably
from about a dozen participants in 1998 to nearly 100 in 2002, the fifth
year.
